The rug was pulled out from under risk assets during March, as investors realised the severity of COVID-19 and its impact on the global economy. Central banks and governments responded rapidly and aggressively with stimulus packages, but the economic damage left behind by the pandemic will undoubtedly take time to repair. The question that investors are asking themselves is how fast economies can be restarted and revert to some kind of normality.

Continued low interest rates and bond yields, as well as the prospect of several years of recovery-driven economic growth, suggest that higher...

Vår prognos är en kort, men djup, recession i år, som följs av en kraftig återhämtning nästa år.      –    Det kommer förvisso att dröja flera år innan ekonomin är tillbaka till gamla tillväxttrender, men vi räknar ändå med att återtåget inleds under kommande kvartal. Fortsatt låga räntor och utsikter till flera år av återhämtningsdriven tillväxt talar för att högre värderingar kan accepteras framöver. Vi ser i dagsläget eventuella...
